When do you think does the deal expire?
I am debating if I should wait for the Pixel 10 256 GB (preferred) to be back in stock, or grab the Galaxy S26 256 GB right now when it is still available?
There is a new deal for S26 Ultra with Sprectrum with 700$ off - Check it out. Also they have new deal for Spectrum internet with 2 free phone lines for 30$ per month

S26 Ultra sounds tempting, but, as far as I understand, it looks like I have to trade in to get the full offer benefit, plus have to stick with them over 36 months, right? This mint mobile deal looks to have better value to me.

Edit: Also, just checked and Spectrum does not have service in my area for Internet, and Spectrum says: If you're new to Spectrum Mobile®, please note that Internet is required to purchase Mobile.

You should port it to google voice and then forward call to the new burner number. Then you can take advantage of new customer only deals anytime in the future.

Just curious: If I call outgoing on a new customer "burner" line, is there a way for it to show my original , now google voice number on the call's Caller ID?

Yes, if you use the phone's native dialing app you can choose which number you would like to show on your outgoing caller ID. There are settings within the google voice app that you can customize how you like things.

Thoughts on this deal but on the ultra or plus? ( still 500 off and 180 for the year )
I am out of contract with Verizon. 2 sims, one phone and its taxing my s22 plus. Should be straight foreword porting one/both over? Any tips or idiot proof?
Also for the bang for the buck, what phone/storage combo makes the most sense? not tech savvy. I will keep the s22 for backup as trade in is like 60 bucks lol
thanks for any guidance.

Dont give away ur Google Voice number. U can no longer get a new GV nmbers anymore. Google went full 1984 mode to get a new one now. So, ur current GV is more valuable than a carrier phone number

Can this be combined with the Minternet offer?
I put it in the cart with minternet and it showed the discount for minternet - so the answer would appear to be yes.

Thanks op for an exciting deal!
Unfortunately I just received an email from mint saying my order has been refunded, and it seems they cancelled my order. There was no explanation. Did anyone else experience the same thing?

Quote from chaolanren :

do you have to call you?
or is it auto unlocked?
I was going through the same experience. Bought a Pixel XL around the holidays and got unlocked after 60 days. I didn't even use the phone during that period, just had to activate it on their network.
In my case, I had to call them to unlock it, and it took about half an hour, but they mentioned the phone should be unlocked automatically, with no phone calls needed.

  1. is this much much much better than a samsung s23 fe?
  2. I wonder if this will be much more enjoyable to use than my FE, which i like very much.
  3. Is $580 actually a deal for this phone or do you think it'll drop more as Black Friday approaches?
I only use my current s23 for YouTube lol....
